​The Jordanian sports scene is awaiting the upcoming electoral milestone for the Jordan Football Association (JFA), amid preparations to begin a new phase in managing the game's affairs and defining the features of the board of directors that will take responsibility during the upcoming period.
​The electoral event is expected to outline the upcoming phase for the association, amid anticipation of the election date and associated procedures, ahead of official preparations to the new board of directors.
​When is the date of the Jordan Football Association elections?
​The elections for the Executive Committee of the Jordan Football Association are expected to be held on November 2, 2026, to elect the association's new board of directors.
​The Jordan Football Association has not officially announced the date yet, but the proposed date for holding the elections has been set, pending its adoption and official announcement.
​The association's board of directors had previously decided to postpone the regular General Assembly meeting—which was scheduled to include the election of the new board—until after the conclusion of the Jordanian national team's participation in the 2026 World Cup.
​The Jordan Football Association is required to officially announce the date of the General Assembly meeting one month before it convenes, which explains the delay in announcing the date of the meeting and elections so far.
​The current Executive Committee was elected in May 2022, headed by Prince Ali bin Al-Hussein, who has served as president of the Jordan Football Association since February 1999.
​Years Rich in Achievements Under Prince Ali's Tenure
​Jordanian football witnessed a number of its most prominent achievements during Prince Ali bin Al-Hussein's tenure as head of the association, starting from winning the gold medal at the Pan Arab Games to continental and international achievements that established the presence of Jordanian national teams on the Asian stage.
​Among the most prominent milestones of this period were the youth team's qualification for the 2007 World Cup finals in Canada, the Jordanian national team reaching the 2023 Asian Cup final in Qatar, and finishing as runners-up in the 2026 Arab Cup in Qatar. This journey was capped by qualifying for the 2026 World Cup finals for the first time in the history of Jordanian football.
​The Executive Committee of the Jordan Football Association includes five club representatives: three members representing clubs in the Pro League, one member for First Division clubs, and one member for Second Division clubs.
​Samar Nassar serves as Secretary-General of the association, having previously served on the board of directors before resigning to assume the position of Secretary-General, which she has held since February 2020.
